Pengaruh Multi-Stage Fitness Test (MFT) Terhadap Daya Tahan Pemain Sepak Bola pada Klub SSB “Satria Muda” di F.Trikoyo

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact and effectiveness of the Multi-Stage Fitness Test (MFT) exercise intervention on improving the endurance capacity of soccer players at the “Satria Muda” SSB Club at F. Trikoyo Field. This experimental study involved 28 participants, with endurance measured using the Multi-Stage Fitness Test (MFT) during pretest and posttest sessions. The results showed an increase in the mean (X) VO₂max value of 6.19 mL/kg/min (15.71%), from 39.41 mL/kg/min (SD = 3.94) at the pretest to 45.61 mL/kg/min (SD = 5.59) at the posttest. The results of the hypothesis test using a Paired Sample t-Test showed that the calculated t-value (28.782) was greater than the critical t-value (2.052), and the p-value was 0.0001 < 0.05. Therefore, H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted. The effect size calculation yielded a Cohen’s d value of 1.07, which falls into the very large effect category (d > 0.8). It can be concluded that the Multi-Stage Fitness Test (MFT) training program has a significant effect and high practical effectiveness in improving the endurance of soccer players at the “Satria Muda” SSB in F. Trikoyo.
